my college roommate john and
his wife
katie were in town for a couple of days.
katie's a neurologist. she was in for a
conference. i neglected to ask what it
was about, but my guess is it had some-
thing to do with
neurons.
heady stuff. i
shot this from
5
bus on ride to brunch.

we ate at
chupacabra.
well, sarah and i
did. john wasn't feeling well and katie
was at her conference. we walked back
through damp quiet streets. not many
people were out. a woman was trans-
planting a tree. the hole was deep and
muddy. there wasn't much else to see:a worn sign and
raindrenched berries.
